This wine is a tribute to the native Aglianico variety, renowned for its ability to produce wines of significant character and depth.
The "Santa Lucia" IGT is cloaked in a luxurious dark ruby hue, with shades that turn to garnet as it ages. On the nose, the bouquet is rich and complex, with dominant notes of ripe fruits such as plums and black cherries, nuances of chocolate, and a subtle touch of tobacco and sweet spices, due to aging in wood.
On the palate, the Irpinia Aglianico "Santa Lucia" displays remarkable robustness, supported by well-structured tannins and a lively acidity that hints at good aging potential. The persistent and enveloping flavor finishes with a long and pleasantly bitterish end, typical of the variety.
Ideal to accompany flavorful dishes like roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this wine is an excellent example of how Cantina dei Monaci has successfully interpreted the Irpinian terroir, respecting nature and tradition.
The winemaking follows traditional methods but with the aid of modern technologies, to ensure the maximum expression of the grape variety and the land. Therefore, the Irpinia Aglianico "Santa Lucia" is a perfect choice for connoisseurs seeking a wine that combines power with elegance, showcasing the winemaking art of Campania.
